24.01.11 – The focus has been on the Hipstamatic lately and as you can tell by past posts, my eye has always been drawn to color. I love when CameraBag‘s Lolo turns a Finnish canvas of snow and ice to bright blue hues or the way Hipstamatic focuses on the yellow buildings of Helsinki, framed by snow-covered trees, and deepens the color to look like gold with blood running through its veins. Yup, you could say I love color.
It never hurts to shake things up though so I’ve been trying to take some Hipstamatic black and white photos. When I look the pictures I’ve been taking lately, I have a load of tree shots. I love black and white shots of bark and branches so I thought I might start off there. As usual, I hope it’s entertaining so stay tuned

I have good memories about finnish summer! Next time I´m going to try in winter time.
the hipstamatic may be doing some color tweeking, but it doesn’t compose the shot, deciding what visual elements to include or how to arrange them. hipstamatic might be the frosting, but you baked the cake.
Right on, Dave! I’m looking forward to the b/w

Thanks e.
Sent them my CV. Sounds like a cool company, doing R&D in Finland with another office in San Francisco. Unfortunately English isn’t the main language in the Helsinki office. Who knows, maybe something will work out.
